TwELve o'CLocx.—We have a report this morning on 'Chan; e, that the Troops of the United States have taken possession of East Flo• rich ; and it has been confidently asserted that our Minister, Mr. Bacon, is about to return.-- Whether recalled on hisown responsibility, we do nut hear ; but the consequence is, a depres sion in the Funds of one per cent. At twelve o'clock they were at 79i. We know nothing respecting the truth of this report, but it is in exact conformity with the view we have felt it our duty to take of the President's e Speech. We received last night the Paris Papers of Tuesday last, and this morning those of IVednes day. We give a few extracts from the former 011 that is material in them) as above. The Recruitment Projet, with the amendments made in it by the Chamber of aputies, which have bten assented to by the King, was communicated to the Chamber of Peers on Monday, by the Minister at War. The discussion of it was appointed to commence on Tlaursday last. The following arc extracts from the Journals of Wednesday. The Moniteur contains a Royal Ordounance, dated the 10th instant, repealing after three months the bounty on the importation of wheat and wheat flour, barley, rye, and maize, which is to continue till the Hith May inclusive, and no longer : " Pants, FEB. I I .—The Committee on the Ilud• get still continue their preparatory disenssions. " The Duke de Fernan-Nunez, the Spanish Ambassador, notified yesterday to the King, at a private audience, the birth of an Infant, son of the Infanta DOlllll4 Maria Frances. We learn from Albi that the Spanish family, which at the ti►ne of the assassination of M. Foal(les occupied, in the house of Bancal, the apartment above the kitchen, had been examined by means of an interpreter, but the result of the depositions was not known. The women Baucal and Benoit had undergone interrogatories, but persisted in a system of denial. It is now thought that the trial will he again put Off till Madame Manson is , not allowed to com- milnicate with' any individoih whatever, unless in the presence of att•horiztd persons.

" BALE, Ftn. 3.—The typhus fever is unfortu nately sweating; in the interior of Switzerland ; it is making the greatest ravages, particularly in the small Cantons. " The Council of this City hare granted to the Duke of 1191 stein Eutin (ci-devant Kiug of Sweden) the rights of-citizettship." It is truly lamentable to see the condition to which Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, a man of consider able talents, and of extensive property, has re duced those talents and the influence naturally attending that property, had been em ployed for his own honour and the interest of the country, he would have raised himself to an en viable eminence, and would have excited the esteem and veneration of all ranks of people. But now he seems to be the resort of the disaffected of every description, and is afraid of•offending them when they endeavour to' render him the channel of the grossest ralsehoods, and the most daring insolence. Yesterday he presented a Petition from a fellow named STEWART, who stated that he had been arrested at Glasgow, on the 22d of Fe bruary, and from that date to the 26ih, was im mured in a cell without fire, candle, victuals or a bed " If Sir FRANCIS had read this Petition be fore he presented it to the House, it is imposaihle that he would have submitted to'be the vehicle such infamous and Waling lies. The Baronet presented another Petition from certain Inhabi tants of St. George's, Hanover-square, praying for Reform, " alleging that the Hou'se did not represent the People, and that, unless their ppiyer was acceded to, they were certainly determined TO RESIsT PAYING TAXES."' If we did not read the fact as stated in the Proceedings of Parliament, could it possibly be supposed that a Member would be found who would insult the House by so gross a defamation, and so seditioi!s a menace. As to the Petitioners themselves, we presume that 'they are the very refuse of the district in question, but that they are perfectly consistent in their conduct, and its threatening to refuse paying taxes, will only act in conforenity to their practice in whatever place they have hitherto resided.

The Dublin Papers teem with articles on the subject of hi) difference with Miss ROCK.

SIR RICHARD CROFT. We stopped the press yesterday to announce t 1 Death of this Gentleman in the following article : " sin Melina° Caorr.—ft was currently reported this day at the West End of the 'Town, that this Gentleman bad died suddenly, while in the'act of delivering a Lady of Fashion.— The Baronet, it is said, had been indisposed some time, in consequence, it is presumed, of the agitation of his mind on account of that National Misfortune, to avert which, no doubt, he had used his best endeavours, and which be must naturaliy be supposed to have felt with peculiar anxiety." We were then fully aware of the melancholy reports which accompanied the notice of this Gentleman's decease, hut, till we could ascertain the truth, we thought it most proper to mention it in the manner above stated. As, however, the dreadful tact admits of no doubt, and as the Gen tleman himself has excited universal notice, in consequence of his intimate connexion with that National Loss which' is deeply deplored by all ranks of the .people, we subjoin the accounts of the melancholy event of yesterday, as they appear in the several Morning Papers of this clay (From The Mooting Poso " IVe . lament to state, thaw Dr. CROFT put an end to his existence yesterday mot fling, in the following manner :—fie had'heen called upon to attend a L , fdy of the name of THACKERY, at her lodgings in \Vimpole-street, on the preceding evening ; but the Lady not bring so near her time as was expected, the Doctor %YRS provided with a bed in the house. About three o'clock y e sterday morning, a servant went to call hint, when, dreadful to relate, he was found in ki tile less state, having blown ont his brains with a pair of pistols. which he had found in the room ready loaded. •Dr. BAILLIE and other professional Gen tletnen were instantly sent for, but without avail, for his head was literally shattered to pieces.-- Under these shocking circumstances, another ac coucheur was sent for %Yithout delay, and we are happy to state that the Lady was soon after safely delivered. It has long been remarked by all Dr. CROFT'S friends, that he has been sinking ever since the dreadful catastrophe which threw this afflicted nation into deep moutning. Never has the deceased held ephis head since. • " COSIONEICS INQUEST oN THE ik.DY. "Last night, at eight o'clock, an Inquest was held in the par lour of the house of Miss Cotton, 86, Wimpole-street, Caren dish-square, before T. Stirling, Esq. Coroner fur Middlesex, on view of the body of Sir Richard Croft. M.D. "It appeared in evidence that the deceased had been sent for to attend Al rs. Thackery in her labour at Miss Cotton's house. Sir Rickard was observed to be very much depressed in spirits, arid the Lady not being so near her time as was expected, he retired to a bed-roilm, in which a brace of pistols had unfor tunately been placed.—On the servant going to call him a niost shorkireg spectacle presented itself. ' The deceased was found Icing on his back, his bead sbuttered to pieces, and the body, the bed, and bed-cli-nes covered with blood. The pistols lay by the side of the body, both having been dis charged. " lioct or Latham and some ot her Gentlemen were examined, all- of whom ;are evidence as to the depressed and dejected stare of the deceased; and the Jury, under ail the circutn stances, ran:tied a verdict of Insanity." (From The Times.) " Last night, at eight 'o'clock, an Inquest was held in the parlour of :he house of Miss Cotton, of Wiinpole-street, Cavendish-square, before Mr. St iriina, the Coroner for Middlesex, on the body of Sir Richard Croft, M. D. . [The people in attendance endeavoured to keep out our Repot ter, not seeing that such an absurd attempt to, s•tppres~ the tritill must lead to mis statements and .mi , apprehensions te►► times more injurio,is than the truth itself. With diffiulty, however, the following circumstances were col lected, which we lay before our Readers, with the deepest regret for the fate of the unfortunate.. de ceased] : •‘ Sir Richard Colt, it appears, was sent for from the country, to attend on a Mrs. Thackery, a Lady who resided at Miss Cotton's, and who was in labour : Sir Richard was observed to be very much depressed in spirits, as it was supposed, from fatigue and want of rest. Mrs. Thackery being safely delivered on 'Thursday evening, Sir Richard retired to bed at a late hour; but not get ting up at his usual hour yesterday morning, lint servant went to his chamber to call bins, when a most shocking spectacle presented itself to him; the deceased lay upon his back, his head was shattered to pieces, and himself, the bed, and bed-clot lies, covered over, with blood two pis tols weir lying near him, both having been dis charged through his head : medical aid was of no avail. Verdict—lnsanity." (From The Horning Chronicle) " Yesterday it was made known that Sir Rich ard Croft, the celebrated AccOuchenr, had died suddenly at the house of a Lady in Witnpale street (Mts. Thackeray), whom he was attending In chip'-hod. The circumstance produced no or (limn y senaation, as it was known that ever since the fatal termination of the accouchcment of the amiable Princess Charlotte, Sir Richard has la boured nosier the most severe mental affliction.— The Inquest was taken at the house, No. 86, in Wimpole-street, before Thosnas Stirling, Esq. and a Jury of neighbours. " be following circumstances were proved in evidence on the Inquest :—On Monday morning early the deceased) was summoned to attend the Lady of the Rev. Dr. Thackeray, of 81, Wimpole-street, Cavendish-square. He was in attendance until Tuesday morning at eleven o'clock, when finding his continued presence nut necessary, he went out for a time on his other engagements. An apartment in the floor above that occupied by Mrs. Thackerny was appointed for the re sidence of Sir Richard. In this chltuber there were two pistols belonging to Dr. Tbacheray, hanging within the reach of Dr. Croft. Sir Richard retired to bed about half past twelve o'clock on Thursday morning ; about one o'clock Or. Thackeray heard' a noise, apparently proceeding from the room occupied by Dr. Croft, and sent a female servant to ascertain the cause; she returned, saying she found the Doctor in bed, and conceived him to be asleep. A short tint( after a similar noise - was heard, and the servant was again sent. She rapped at the door, but received no answer.. This circumstance created alarm, in consequence of which the door of his apartment was broken open. Here a shocking spectacle presented itself:—The body of Sir Richard Cs ott was lying on -the bed, shockingly mangled ; his arms extended over his breast, and a pistol in each hand. One of time pistols had been loaded with slugs, the other with ball. Both were discharged, and the head of the unfortunate Gentleman was literally blown to pie ce s. " Drs. Latham and Bane, and Mr. Finch, proved that the deceased had, since th e d ea th of the P r i n c e ss Charlotte, la boured under ment a l distress. He had repeatedly been heard to say, that " this lamentable circumstance weighed heavy upon his mind, and he should neverget over it." " Mr. Finch said he was veil aware that the deceased was labutning tinder a d e ra nge r 4 ent of intellect fur a comic:et-able : o ani tiv . .e.past, and he slould not have reposed trust in 11,1 u -11 occasion since the lament. d catastrophe alluded to. , ii n g "The Jury, which v•as summoned at eight o'clock, ";, - heard the %%hole of the .evidence adduced, trtired ali°: t ,: n - c li ; after the Coroner (Mr. Stiding) had summed up the e "" . r - with vlitable comments.
